The Sun, with 2 wins, home & away, have outscored their opponents 53 – 39, albeit they had to come-from-behind in both games to post the wins.
The Huskers won their home opener on July 27 with a very impressive 51-7 thrashing of the Kamloops Broncos. Week 2 was a bye for Chilliwack.

The Sun feature a one two punch at quarterback with 17-year-old rookie, Marek Filipek, 24 of 40 over two games, who started the home opener and split the duty with fellow QB Liam Kroeger who went 12 of 15 in game two last week vs V.I. Raiders.
Huskers #1 QB is Tyran Duval, who went 21 of 30 passes and 5 TD’s in their home opener, hooking up with WR Steven Koniuck on 6 receptions and 4 TD’s

Elelyon Noa, on 34 carries has amassed 236 rushing yards for a 7 yard per carry average and racked up 6 rushing TD’s. Both Noa’s rushing yards and TD’s lead the BCFC conference.
